Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the mob that attacked the Capitol was "provoked" by President Donald Trump.
"The mob was fed lies," McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said on the Senate floor. "They were provoked by the President and other powerful people."
McConnell touted that Congress did its duty despite the violence on January 6, certifying the victory of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
"We'll have a safe and successful inaugural right here on the very front of the Capitol," said McConnell.
McConnell's comments came as the Senate prepares to hold an impeachment trial over the House's charge of "incitement of insurrection." McConnell said on Tuesday that the Senate has received a message from the House that Trump has been impeached but noted that the House has not yet transmitted the article to the Senate.

Hey, lemme correct that for you.
Senate _Minority_ Leader Mitch McConnell.
@Adarll Kelly exactly my sentiment. People need to realize that this man is the devil himself
@R M
Not sure about what you’re arguing for. But you’re mostly wrong
@Adarll Kelly
His Daddy… ?
@aruna kamara
Did I miss something? I don’t like Trump.
@R M
Senators are elected, regardless of party affiliation. It just so happens at right now they are 50/50.
Not gonna work Mitch 🐢 you were the biggest problem
@Little Mac Yeah, you are right… but sooner or later we have gotta figure out how to get things done. I wish we had more of a majority… because as it is, it’s gonna lock on every issue
@Super Gristmill61
Has to happen for the mistake they made last time and paid for it from trumps foul mouth.
Iran are licking their lips in anticipation.
And the damage that has been done is profound… no doubt. Personally, I would lock them all up for treason. But if we keep this system, we have to figure out how win:
@Little Mac f*+k you’re right… I retracted my post…
@CAP GO go home troll.
The Snake is now trying to bite of his own tail to save himself.
He’s a senator of KY. Politically it would have been better for him personally had he not said anything at all.
@Bug Eye 🤣😂🤣🤣😂💯
Turtles wiould chew off their own balls
…if there were turtle traps or turtles had balls they could reach.
Don’t let the packaging fool you they don’t have a monocle of hope of reaching their balls.
Best description ever!
I think he sincerely spoke ad a American after the disgusting insurrection pushed by Trump
Mitch McConnell is living his worst fear…he’s about to become a minority.
😆 😝
11/10 would laaugh again
Hmmmmm
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’ll file to impeach Joe Biden on Jan. 21

@macsporan Moscow Mitch ?? He just got re-elected. He’s going to stay in the Senate through the end of 2026.
Tell him Welcome to the Minority. We do not discriminate. 😁😁😷
Look at the turtle trying to reclaim his lost spine and balls after 4 years
He’ll never find those things. I honestly think that they ever existed.
😅😂🤣😂
He’s such a gifter.
All McConnell has done is hurt the American people
Hey CNN, HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR VIEWER’S ABOUT THE PELOSI’S NEW IMPEACHMENT? OR BIDENS NEW IMPEACHMENT? OR HAVE THEY SEEN THE NEWEST DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS THAT ARE NOT A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY? HAVE YOU TOLD THEM ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER TRUMP SIGNED THAT GOES INTO EFFECT ON THE 22ND? HAVE YOU TOLD THEM WHY WE HAVE 65,000 TROOPS AT CAPITAL AND MANY OTHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COVID? HAVE YOU TOLD THEM THAT GOOGLE SERVICES FACEBOOK TWITTER YAHOO AOL NBC *CNN* ARE MAKING A LOT OF PAGES PERTAINING TO **TRUTHFUL** INFORMATION? TELL MY FELLOW AMERICAN’S THE TRUTH YOU BOUGHT OUT NWO COMMUNIST. TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT YOU LAUGH ABOUT YOU BEING THE ONES WHO TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT TO THINK. TELL THESE AMERICANS!
just a little too late for this. Should have been saying this the days after the election.
The day after the Electoral College voted, Mitch did in the Senate announce Joe Biden as the presidential winner and he congratulated him and Kamala. That’s more than most Republican officials did.
Imagine McConnell is CNN s best friend, who would have thought.
McConnell is nobody’s friend. He’s completely worthless to anyone.
Cnn accept only turtle you must be other wise you dont get interviewed.
The RATS are rather quickly abandoning the sinking ship…
Mitch McConnell not trying to go to Prison for Trump!! Its Rough in Prison! More than just 3 hots & A Cot!!!💪🏿😄😄😄
@Robert Douglas 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂no words!😂😂😂😂😂
Sometimes one need’s the RAT’s to think the ship is sinking, at least long enough to weed out the traitor’s. Then the games can begin!!Good luck all!
Maybe. But I like to think that Mitch has finally seen the light. I mean, who else, in his seat of power(and he still has a lot of power, I promise you) do you see speaking up? Not many, man. At his level? Certainly not Mike “White Cobra” Pence.
@Richard McMasky Mitch McConnell got in tooo deep! Trump is Trump & he dont Care who Dies!!!as long as he have his Way! Sad that one human being dont care about noones life but his or her own.🧐
HE IS SUCH A HYPOCRITE! HIS WORDS DON’T MEAN ANYTHING AFTER THE FACT…HE IS AS GUILTY AS SO MANY OTHERS.
This right here might be the most powerful man in the world right now. He alone has the ability to get our president convicted of impeachment. Watch him closely the next few week, his actions may influence the course of history dramatically. Praying for his courage.
God bless America.God bless Donald Trump,the legacy of USA history,First lady,Trump family.Donald Trump,the greatest courage,brave and bird-eye view politican and intellectual to make America great again(MAGA)campaign,and his courage,inspiration speech and intelligence draw attention and group supporters and bring supporters to protest for him in Washington DC is in fact,the incident similar to Dr,Luther King Martin,and definitely Donald Trump provide lot of wonderful assets to Democratic Joe Biden,therefore,the for God,Lord and Jesus christ sake,let Donald Trump free from the impeachment at all.

@Keith Au Whatever, Boris.
@Keith Au hope God saves you’re mind.
They all talk unity, and bipartisan only when they don’t hold the majority.
@S B they should admit there is no fraud when u admit trunk won in 2016
@Janet Pattison they are afraid of cancel culture and losing their jobs. They are being bullied into saying what they are saying
Thanks. As an outsider I was wondering if that tone had anything to do with the loss of majority.
Facts!!!
@DRitz78 both.
“The mob was fed lies,” McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said on the Senate floor. “They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” … YOU, Mitch, are one of those powerful people.
His statement wasn’t technically incorrect. 😉
Exactly.
He’s being his usual calculating self. Always looking out for himself.
I think Mitchy had a difficult time being a yes man for an idiot, incompetent “President”
Well Americans only have two choices…kind of sad for the middle class voices

I don’t know. I mean, would you prefer no one on the right said *anything?*
I think this is his Redemption Moment before GOD, and I commend the guy. Could I be wrong? Sure. But i’m going with my gut here.
Mitch McConnell has stopped the legitimate work of the House for years. Pot and Kettle!
Mitch McConnell AINT NO FOOL!!!!! He got that Asian Wife! She Redesign two weeks ago! Pillow Talk!!! I bet she told Mitch McConnell to Rat Trump out!! To save what they have!😄😄😄
Yeah, let us work together now after being obstructionists since 2009!
2001 you mean
Give the guy a break. At least he’s finally saying *something* useful.
@Richard McMasky lemme correct you, mumbling something usefull
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.” – Trump
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🐍
Please, don’t offend the snakes, they are a much better and thoughtful animal.
He was speaking about the man who rapes kids and commits treason then blames another man in office trying to clean it up for the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

When the Republicans controlled the Senate: “No compromises. This is a zero-sum game!” After losing the Senate: “We’re all in this together.”
You’re so right. They seemed to have no shame.
We can be all in this together after they resign
Yep. Fuhck them!
@Victor Qwilleran Who turned around and shot down their bullshit election fraud cases lol!
McConnell: “they were feed lies by other people..”
Everyone else: BY YOU… YOU ARE THE OTHER PEOPLE.. THEY WERE FEED LIES BY YOU TOO MITCH!!🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Yesssss he can really shut his pie hole!
He’s terrified, his wife is soon to be arrested along with him
that would be fantastic but it will never happen
